And I put that in quotes because there's really no "idle" on graphics cards, compared to CPUs, it just gets hot or hotter.

It gets worse when you pay extra for a graphics card to heat the room, then pay again to have the AC cool the room, plus all the fan noise from BOTH the graphics card fan and the AC. When I built this rig, cooling and noise was the priority, with an i7-6700K being required for horsepower.
If your computer can cook a room so hot that you need an AC to counter it, there's something wrong with your cooling solution. My computer sits right next to my mouse-using hand and my hand was ice cold during winter time.

TDP are more correlated to watt usage, it has no relationship whatsoever as to temperature Celsius, your information is wrong. Running 100% of a 250 TDP graphic card does not mean the card goes to 250 degrees Celsius. Most modern cards stayed in the 70s on full loaded.

Not sure what the Dragonball reference is to.
Something like this.
